SqlDBM is rebuilding core workflows around AI - from how data architects design schemas to how engineers validate changes to how governance teams maintain compliance across enterprise environments. You will work at the intersection of .NET backend engineering and applied AI - building the systems that make AI a first-class, reliable, enterprise-grade capability inside one of the most technically demanding categories in data infrastructure. This role sits inside our dedicated AI group and reports directly to senior leadership. You will have a short line to product, architecture, and business decisions - no layers, no queue. The team is small by design, moves fast, and has direct visibility into enterprise customer needs. What makes this role different You are not building a chatbot. You are building AI infrastructure for enterprise data teams - systems that understand schema context, generate governed artifacts, and integrate into the workflows of the world's most sophisticated engineering organizations. The problems are hard. The customers are demanding. The work is meaningful. What you'll do You will own and extend the backend systems that power SqlDBM's AI capabilities. Specific areas include: * AI-assisted data modeling workflows - backend services that allow users to describe their data needs in natural language and receive accurate, governed schema output * Context-aware intelligence - systems that use the full richness of a user's data model, naming standards, and governance rules to produce AI output that is specific to their environment, not generic * Automated documentation and metadata generation - AI pipelines that analyze existing schemas and produce accurate, consistent business documentation at scale * Integration with enterprise AI ecosystems - API layers that allow external AI agents and tools to call SqlDBM as a trusted source of schema context * Consumption tracking and orchestration - backend infrastructure that manages AI request routing, model selection, cost optimization, and usage metering * Governance-aware AI workflows - systems that embed approval, validation, and compliance logic into AI-generated outputs before they reach production * MCP server development - building and extending SqlDBM's Model Context Protocol server so that external AI agents and LLM-based tools can use SqlDBM as a trusted, real-time schema authority * Tech Stack includes: C# / .NET AWS PostgreSQL Redis REST APIs LLM Integration MCP Microservices Our backend is built on modern .NET with a microservices architecture deployed on AWS. AI capabilities are built on top of major LLM providers via API, with proprietary prompt engineering, context management, and output validation layers that are core intellectual property of the platform. ## Related Videos - [Coffee with Developers - Maria Apazoglou](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1209-coffee-with-developers-maria-apazoglou) - [Reducing LLM Calls with Vector Search Patterns - Raphael De Lio (Redis)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1714-reducing-llm-calls-with-vector-search-patterns-raphael-de-lio-redis) - [Web APIs you might not know about](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/281-web-apis-you-might-not-know-about) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Accelerating Authentication Architecture: Taking Passwordless to the Next Level](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/733-accelerating-authentication-architecture-taking-passwordless-to-the-next-level) ## Related Articles - [MLOps And AI Driven Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/82-mlops-and-ai-driven-development) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Dev Digest 132 - Binging WADFlix?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/473-dev-digest-132-binging-wadflix) - [What is Software Engineering in the Age of AI?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/640-what-is-software-engineering-in-the-age-of-ai) - [Dev Digest 137 - AI'm not sure about this](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/485-dev-digest-137-ai-m-not-sure-about-this)
